2010-2011 NBA Thread Take 2

[Got Philk?]

especially jor-el who put forth 3 points in 35 minutes.

Hey man, that's double his scoring average! He came to play!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Apparently NY is buying Corey Brewer out.

i'm a little surprised by this

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Somebody tell me if I should be excited or not about Rasual Butler.

No.

My turn. Somebody tell me if I should be excited about Mike Bibby or not?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

If you are Lute Olsen back in 1997 then, yes, you should be excited.

 

[Hewson]

No.

My turn. Somebody tell me if I should be excited about Mike Bibby or not?

The Heat really need another guy who only looks for his own shot, and doesn't know what p-a-s-s spells...you should be quite excited.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Excellent then.

Well at the very least I hope he can generate some more outside scoring. Something the bench has obviously struggled with on occasion for the Heat this season.

Huh, interesting tidbit. I'm sure some of you might know this but I never knew Eddie House was Mike Bibby's brother-in-law.

If you are Lute Olsen back in 1997 then, yes, you should be excited.

Bibby's career peak was in 2002 in the conference finals against the Lakers. If the rules didn't require him to play with four teammates, the Kings would have won Game 7 and probably the Finals as well. (Or if Game 6 hadn't been rigged. Just in case Lazarus is reading.)

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

mike bibby has been averaging 9 and 3.5 over the past 3 seasons... at this point he's a name only. his best years are long behind him.

 

[Imperor]

Bibby's also a great signing if you long for the days when Weekly World News featured a new Bat Boy story each week.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

troy murphy would be a decent pick up for any of the teams looking... miami, new york or boston. he can't guard anybody and hits corner threes, so he seems a natural fit for the knicks... especially considering that he lives in new york in the off season with his bosom buddy mike dunleavly jr.

they play men's league together here in the summer. it's cute.

 

[gump]

I'm confused. Did the Knicks waive Brewer, Azubuike, or both?

Edit: apparently it's both.

Well I never expected Mike Bibby from like 10 years ago. Don't forget, 10 points per game is about 4 more than Mario Chalmers or Carlos Arroyo can vouch for, and 3.5 assists is a full assist more than they're credited with.

That being said, I don't expect Bibby to outplay them. But it could happen.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

bibby's stats are actually very comparable to carlos arroyo's over the past 2 seasons, as are chalmers' pre-oversized 2 1/2 stats. his stats have gone down this year, largely because lebitch and diane dominate the ball so.

a new point guard is only a viable option for the shmeat if lebitch and diane are actually willing to give up control of the ball. if this is the case, they already have two capable points. i'd be more concerned with getting a big who's actually physically capable of putting more than 3 points on the board.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yahoo says that troy murphy has signed with the heat.

in other free agent news, espn says that troy murphy has signed with the celtics.

that is not a typo.

@SpearsNBAYahoo
Marc J. Spears
Free agent forward-center Troy Murphy has agreed to sign with the Heat, sources tell Y! Sports. Murphy also turned down Celtics.

Marc Stein
Just filed to ESPN.com: Troy Murphy chooses Boston over Miami. Link on the way

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That's why Twitter blows.

 

[PhilsFan]

And Bleacher Report says he chose the Yankees, so now I don't know what to believe.

 

[phanan]

Looks like it's the Celtics.

 

[namkcuR]

Rose to Noah. Rose to Noah.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Word.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

There will be a major fight involving dwight howard at some point. He's a dirty, chippy player who gets away with it cause of his big doofy smile.

He's like a giant, black john stockton.

 

[LMP]

The best thing that Billups has done this quarter is put his foot underneath Nelson's on a jumpshot.

 

[LMP]

That and tumble his way into 20 foul shots tonight.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I've never seen someone so good at drawing contact on jumpers without obviously flopping... miller and pierce are/were both great at drawing fouls on jumpers, but they flop like a fish.


Good game... nice to have an intense, physical game against a title contender and actually be in it. Jameer went nuts.

 

[PhilsFan]

I love me some Jameer but I hate Dwight Howard and his elbows.

That's a fair point.

Two more games this month, both at the Garden. I'm excited.

[PhilsFan]

I heard somewhere that he was going to release the pilot episode of his sitcom soon.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Dwight howard will eventually catch the wrong guy in the face with one of those bo's.

Also dwight having his own website plugging himself for mvp is reason enough not to ever give him the award.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Psh Howard is clearly just kidding... guy's such a character.
